Delight Grandma with Elegant Necklaces and Gifts from our 2024 Mother's Day Guide

Grandmother jewelry celebrates the role grandmothers play in our lives as strong, loving, nurturing women. Popular designs include grandmother necklaces in birthstones, grandmother bracelets personalized with initials, and stacked grandmother rings. Some of our favorite calls are from family members who are coordinating a multigenerational Mother’s Day gift for a beloved grandmother to celebrate her whole family. 

Personalized jewelry can include a number of elements that help tell someone’s story, such as birthstones, initials, engravings, or symbols. As the name implies, this jewelry is designed specifically for the person who’ll wear it; for many women, it becomes something they never take off. Personalized jewelry represents the people we love and life’s milestones to help connect us to what we value most. 

There are so many possibilities for creating personalized jewelry for grandmothers, which can also be an ideal Mother’s Day gift for grandma. Perhaps you want to create a necklace with her special grandmother name and her grandchildren’s birthstones. Or a set of birthstone bracelets, one for each family, including Grand stones for the parents and Petite stones for the grandchildren. Celebrating a first grandchild? You might create an initial-and-birthstone necklace or bracelet that she can add on to as her family grows.

To create the perfect Mother’s Day gift of personalized jewelry for any grandmother, just follow these steps!

First, choose how many birthstones or letters you’d like to include in your grandmother jewelry piece. Write down a list of names and birthdays to use as a reference. Be sure to check with family members to make sure you’ve included everyone, and that you have their birth months correct! 

Now that you know how many people you want to represent, you can explore different designs. What kind of jewelry does she like to wear? Would a necklace, bracelet, or ring suit her best? Would she prefer a lightweight design that she’ll never take off, or a statement piece for special occasions? Necklaces and bracelets are great options for grandmother jewelry because they can accommodate the largest number of stones or letters. 

All of HAVERHILL’s personalized jewelry is handcrafted in solid 14k gold. Yellow gold is the most popular choice, but some women have a strong preference for white gold. Look at the jewelry she wears every day, including her wedding ring. If you’re not sure, find a subtle (or not so subtle!) way to ask which she prefers.

Finding the perfect fit for a gift can be tricky! Take a peek in her jewelry box and measure a piece she wears. Check out our Jewelry Sizing Guide for lots of tips on finding the perfect fit for necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Still have questions? Our Customer Service team is here to help. 

Finally, think about how you’d like the stones and letters to be arranged. Use the personalization tool on our product pages to play around with different placements of birthstones and letters. Here are some ideas on arranging: 

• By birth order  

* Group by family

• Children’s stones between the parents’ 

• Accented with her birthstone  

• One bracelet to represent each child’s family

* Neutral stones like Diamond, White Topaz, or Moonstone to fill out the pattern

Many pieces of personalized grandmother jewelry can have birthstones and letters added on as her family grows. Just place an Alteration Order to add birthstones and/or letters. We’ll send her a return label to send the jewelry to us, and we’ll ship the altered piece right back to her. (Please note: We can’t add or swap out stones in rings, so if the family grows, you might want to give her additional birthstone rings for the new arrivals.)

We handcraft your design based on your specifications in the USA in just 1-3 days.
